Chapters:

After a week, their friendship started growing stronger and
stronger, much closer and closer. Inna was a complete nerd, a very
studious girl. A girl of wisdom, a girl who was aware of ethical
values of her family. Inna was given a medium, a required love and
affection from her parents. She had long curly hair, she was tall
just like her father; Mr. Khan. She was the girl for whom her
parents were proud of. Her parents were always encouraging her for
not only her studies but also for her extra curricular activities.
Her father always asked her about her school, her aims, and
activities and about her time she spends in her school. Her father
was very much concerned about her education. Inna always wanted to
be a writer but becoming a biologist was her mother's dream. She
always linked herself with the daily researches on science and
technology. She loved broadening her intellectuality, her knowledge
and what she loved most was writing about every point that stroke
her mind. She was enrolled in the same school where Neo and Seno
were already studying. Inna was giving tough competition to Seno.
She was also helping her and Neo in their studies without getting
jealous and never considered them her competitors. Her mother had
always taught her to help everyone who came in her way for help.
One day, the three of the girls were at Inna's place. They had
their exam the next day. As their friendship had started getting
stronger, they used to sit together for their studies. They also
shared their thoughts, aims, likes and dislikes with each other,
something which usually friends do. Inna and Seno were talking
whereas Neo was busy with her phone. Neo's one ear was entangled by
an earphone with radio on and at the same time she was sending text
messages to her random friends. "Neo! Stop it, you have your exam
tomorrow." Inna said. "Yeah I know you both look like some
caterpillars, completely focusing on this boring book can't you
take your eyes off it? Anyways carry on with your studies I will go
and get some potato snacks for myself." Neo said and left the room.
Potato snacks were something Neo was crazy for. She used to crack a
joke by saying, "Seno, I wish I could marry that guy who sells
potato snacks". And Seno would laugh out loud on it. "But your
father has left you here to study. He must be thinking that you are
studying here, making your future but look what are you with?" Inna
said in a louder tone so that Neo could hear properly as she was in
kitchen. "I don't want any lectures. And I don't like extra
advices, did you get that?" Neo yelled out of kitchen. "But what if
you get fewer marks? Your father would be blaming me as I have told
him that I will make you study and we three will study together."
Inna reasoned. "Alright! Here is the book and I am studying! Look
it's in my hand is it fine? "Now stop staring at me," Neo replied
to cease the argument holding the book in her hand. Inna tried her
level best to make her study but her every effort was useless. It
seemed that her attention was somewhere else, however her eyes were
duly on paper. Neo was just aimlessly zapping between the pages. "I
would see-indeed I would see clearly that although your eyes are on
the notes but your attention is somewhere else." Inna said
suspiciously. "My attention? It's in book." Neo seemed little
afraid but confident at the same time. Time passed and the morning
sun rose above the horizon. And the two of them were still the
same. They had a lot of coffee cups, books, notes and pencils
messed in front of them and a lot of questions and answers in their
minds were bouncing here and there. They also had fear, fear of
getting failed or fear of forgetting the answers which they had
memorized. But, Neo seemed no afraid. Indeed was busy with her make
up, hip hop hair do's whereas Inna was tightening her braid and
Seno just brushed her hair a bit as she loved her hair messy. Neo
and Seno had brought their school uniforms with them so that they
could get ready at Inna's place to save the time and get to school
together but Neo's smart brain was planning a master step. Neo got
ready at Inna's place but left earlier without having breakfast. "I
am leaving for my home; I will join you both in exam premises," Neo
excused. "Our plan was to go together, what's the rush? Why are you
leaving like this?" Seno said. "No, I have something to deal with.
I am sorry. I am in a hurry. Catch you later, all the best with
your paper." Neo left without waiting for Seno to say a single
word. "Sometimes she behaves so weird and talks absurd." Seno told
Inna. "Leave it let's eat something I can only feel hot coffee in
my tummy." Inna cracked a joke. They both had their breakfast. Inna
asked Seno to revise the answers loudly so that she could listen
the words too. Inna's father dropped the two girls at school and he
greeted them with good wishes and left for his office. They entered
the examination hall. They looked for their roll numbers. They were
sitting perpendicular to each other. Invigilators distributed the
sheets among students. Seno looked at the door for Neo. But neo was
not there. Seno prayed and opened her sheet and started writing.
Inna was going through the questions she read the whole paper and
she also looked for Neo meanwhile. It was 15 minutes passed until
exam was started and still Neo was missing in the exam premises.
Inna started her exam with a confusion that where is Neo still?
After half an hour Neo entered the room with a smile, excused the
invigilator, "My tire got punctured and we took it to the mechanic
in order to fix it and I had to take lift so that I might not miss
the exam. This is the reason I am late. Will you please give me the
permission to give my exam?" The innocence of Neo appealed the
teacher and she permitted her. Neo sat down, looked at the paper
wrote what ever she knew. Neo with high and strong spirit finished
the paper before the allocated time and left the hall. Inna looked
at her and thought may be she had made preparations a lot without
letting them know therefore she did it first. As for Inna this was
her first exam with Neo and Seno - a first experience at that
school. Seno and Inna ended the paper and marched out of the hall.
They looked for Neo but found her nowhere. They checked the
washrooms and other classes but had not find her in any corner.
They tried to call her but her phone was switched off. Than they
left for home as they had to tell her about the next paper's
preparation. On the way, in the public bus Inna and Seno shared a
great company. Inna got attached to the words of Seno; she loved
her moves and the way she talked was attracting Seno a lot. Inna
could feel a depth in Seno's eyes, she was attracted to her. Same
was the case with Seno, she was deeply noticing Inna and she felt
that their thinking was so much same. Inna knew about Seno's life,
her family, and about Neo that she is a daughter of a wealthy
business-man. "Neo never go around showing off her money and her
stuff and that is what I like about her," Seno praised Neo. Inna
smiled and thought that Seno is one with whom she passed a great
time and they both made a good company. With all conversations
going on, the question which was still buzzing in Inna's and Seno's
mind was, where is Neo still? Nobody knew where she had been. Not
even her parents who were busy with making guests list for their
son's birthday party.
